Rather than take the more direct 77km ride from Adelaide to Middleton on boring main roads I decided to take the scenic route via the Adelaide hills.
Heading south-east on the freeway just to exit the city, then beaching off at Stirling into the back roads.
First village was Aldgate and Mylor and then Echunga. This was a really picturesque twistie drive up and down the slopes with lots of leafy green growth overhanging the road.
From there I turned south-westerly where it opened up into farmland and through Meadows, Yankalilla (where I had a lovely steak, bacon, & cheese pie and coffee)…
…& then continued around the coastline to Victor Harbour and finally Middleton at about 3pm.
4,119 KMs since my departure from Perth I’d arrived! A bit saddle-sore, but in 1 piece.
There were already a few OzSToc members already there. So, it was a first-time meet ‘n greet followed by tent, washing, beer, & chicken schnitzel at the local.
While there will be many more arriving tomorrow, it was good to finally put faces to forum members.
